Obama: 'I believe waterboarding was torture, and it was a mistake':

CIA Says Pelosi Was Briefed on Use of 'Enhanced Interrogations' Torture
By Paul Kane

Intelligence officials released documents this evening saying that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was briefed in September 2002 about the use of harsh interrogation tactics against al-Qaeda prisoners, seemingly contradicting her repeated statements over the past 18 months that she was never told that these techniques were actually being used. Ref. Source 1

Pelosi has restated her stance on "if" she did or "if" she didn't receive any briefings on waterboarding or enhanced interrogations. She did and she should just confess that she did. The longer and stronger she makes this flimsy denial the worse she is going to look in the end.

Basically, she can confess and say she was briefed, but I doubt she will do this or she can say she didn't fully understand the nature of the enhanced interrogations...which just makes her look incompetent. Her choice...

Torture Waterboarding

We all know that she received the briefings on this kind of torture. The longer she acts like she did not the more it makes her look bad. The american people are not as stupid as she thinks we are.

What I dont like about this is we complain to other countries when they do it and we were doing it. More reason for people to hate us and not take us seriously.
